Bachmann Forgets Where Libya Is
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) criticized President Obama's foreign policy, saying, "Now with the president, he put us in Libya. He's now putting us in Africa. We already were stretched too thin, and he put our special operations forces in Africa," she said.

Libya, it should be noted, is in Africa.

Bachmann was referring to Obama's recent announcement that he will be sending 100 U.S. troops to help battle rebels from the Lord's Resistance Army.

4. Sarah Palin geography
Remember Palin did not know that Africa is a continent or didn't understand what makes up a continent.

13. Post of the day!!! Michelle Bachmann could use an advisor like that right about now.
Like such so that people will know where Libya is like such so that they can study maps and like such so they can make decisions when they are in Congress and like such.

That girl was so damned cute!!!

8. And the really alarming aspect of it? Her followers don't know either-
Therefore, they would never catch the idiocy of the statement.
